(High-Collectible)
("Best-of-its-Type Sold in 2020”) Serapi carpets from the middle of the 19th century and earlier are completely different than later pieces, their medallions more various, the drawing filled with spontaneity, free of repetition and with original, nuanced color spectrums. We strive to offer early examples, when we can find them. This exceptional antique Serapi presents an inspired chromatic display, depending entirely on softer tones to deliver the artistic impact for which this style is beloved. Shimmering with the patina of great age, sunrise tonalities of apricot, peach, and coral fill the shield medallion, the edge of the field and main border, every zone delicately rippled with striation for greater depth. Cerulean blue, palest green celadon and citrine complete this dawn-inspired palette, endowing this superb geometric art piece with an one-of-a-kind, majestic ambiance.
